There is a possibility that short-term and long-term exposure to air pollution can contribute to suicidal thoughts in humans and increase the risk of death as a result of an attempt to take one's own life.
According to a new analysis published in the 'Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health', it has been established that short-term exposure to fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, as well as continuous exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and PM2.5, is associated with the risk of suicide, suicidal thoughts, or death.
The researchers analyzed the results of more than 40 studies dedicated to the potential impact of air pollution, noise, lighting, and water on human mental health.
